He faces another suspension (his second in three years) after being fined $113,000 for NINE unsportsmanlike conduct fouls in a second-round loss at the Western and Southern Open.
After being called for a time foul and denied a bathroom break, Kyrgios decided to take one anyway (UC #1), in which he destroyed two racquets (UC #2 and #3), berated the umpire with obscenity (UC #4 for obscenity, UC #5 for verbal abuse), committed ball abuse (UC #6) and committed three other unnamed unsportsmanlike conduct offenses (7, 8, and 9) in a third set peppered with abuse of the chair umpire.
How he was not defaulted by the umpire should also be investigated, but he now has to pay $100,000 out of pocket to continue to play on the Tour, even if he is NOT suspended. He won about $15,000 for his "performance".
Kyrgios was thrown out of the Italian Open in May for hurling a chair across the court, and other fouls. Many were calling for a suspension which would still be in force today.

Get him off the ATP Tour.
